These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed.

Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits,
the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What’s the problem with that much support?
Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day.
To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.

If you actually have a job in California and work hard every day…Would you please ask if you can work overtime…or consider getting a second job so you can pay more taxes? The welfare recipients in California
both need and deserve those lavish vacations that you and your family can not afford.

Since this video was made, Governor Moonbeam applied his deficit solution: impose even higher taxes to keep up with higher spending.
